Yes, definitely. However, the type of medic you are makes a big difference in what you will be doing. If you are a general medic (Healthcare Specialist, MOS 68W) you could end up doing many different things. Some medics work in the Troop Medical Clinic, which is where soldiers go when they are sick or injured. Alternatively, you can be a line medic and work with a platoon, providing most of their basic healthcare needs. I am currently a line medic deployed to Iraq with a Combat Engineer company. I have about 26 guys that i take care of. When they are sick, they come to me and i can give them medicine or whatever they need. When they roll out the gate on missions, combat or otherwise, i go with them. I carry a bag full of emergency medical supplies in case someone gets hurt. There are also other medical specialties you can go into. The bottom line is almost all medics deploy.
